Default Re: Ultra Bogus Yenko Deuce tach on Ebay

This one is an interesting topic.

I re-read the auction description. Here it is below:

"Up for auction is a nova hood tach. I was told for a nova. It says YENKO on the face of tach. I took apart so I can take pic`s of tach inner parts. Everything looks good and clean. Houseing not cracked or broken. Numbers and lines are good and visable. I don`t know what its worth, But this will be no reserve auction. Never tested.Selling AS-IS. Look at pic`s and if you have any questions feel free to email me. A money order will be due in 6 days after auction. Item will cost $10 for insur. and ship. Thanks Rick "


It doesn't appear to me that he is trying to mislead anyone. It's a tach, it says Yenko on the front. It sounds like he really didn't have a clue overall, nor try anything intentionally deceiving.

Now, if it had been spun up as a "super rare yenko hood tach that came from 1 of 176 Yenko Novas..... real deal.... restore your supercar with this original piece.... blah blah blah", then I'd see it differently.

Regardless of all that, if it is the correct style for a Deuce, then it should still be a neat part for someone to have. I'll give the seller the benefit of the doubt on this one.
